Donald Trump is very ill.
He is unable to do his duties as the president of this country. When he is not on the golf course, you know something is terribly wrong.
Behind closed doors, they should be discussing the 25th Amendment.
Just as he has hid his health records from the public for the last 10 years, his supporters continue to hide the seriousness of his condition. He looks terrible. His face is swollen. He is covering up large bruises with make-up. He has a difficult time walking as his ankles are very swollen. His mental faculties have been dulled by his physical condition.
The people have a right to know about the health of their President. They were quick to accuse Joe Biden of dementia and incompetence, but they hide more serious health issues about Donald Trump.

very well and even stopping to 'bow' at the booing crowd, which disappointed me as that came on the heels of reports of his ankles being so swollen he could hardly walk.
Don't get me wrong, I want the senile-adjacent MFer incapacitated too, but we have to bide our time as he's still able to walk well enough...dammit.

It's because you don't understand this sense. You can't come at it from the direction in which you or most others do so. It's an expanded consciousness and it does require certain mental disciplines to get there.
At one time the human brain spheres didn't communicate with each other and consciousness had a very different way of working. Read The Origin of Consciousness and the Breakdown of he Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes as a starter.
on edit: So what I am saying is that the human brain evolves. What we are talking about is neuroscience. Yes, there are studies that document this. If you want the scientists and the bodies of work, I can give you a general direction in which to go, but I'm not going to do your work for you. To be clear: psychics and intuitives are operating at a higher level of consciousness. To get to that level, certain areas of the brain have to be developed. Certain mental focus exercises give one the ability to get to that level.
Is that clear?
Also, be aware that "time" is a fabrication of our particular dimension. This is why you can't get "time" from any psychic or even from a dream, which is another dimension.
Dimensions can be accessed through certain brainwave states, and this used to require decades of mental focus exercises. Now, with binaural beats and a few other methods, one can get to these states after a few months of practice, but even if you can get there, it doesn't mean you'll know how to navigate it.
TnDem
(1,161 posts)Anytime you see things like:
you don't understand this sense

It screams reality avoiding, ephemeral nonsense...I mean, re-read your post.
Just think, if the detainees in South Florida can mentally focus enough, maybe they and the homeless woman in Lexington KY can escape to another dimension...Hell, maybe we can all escape and then we won't have to plan for the mid-terms.
NJCher
(40,839 posts)failed to draw a line here that you need to make sense of my post. It is:
Consciousness evolves.
I will go back and edit my post to put that in.
Of course it sounds like nonsense to you. The Encyclopedia Britannica looks like nonsense to a three-year old, too. You don't comprehend the intuitive sense because you either weren't born with the mental faculty to operate with it and/or you haven't devoted any time and effort to getting your mind to be able to work in an advanced level of consciousness.
I would ask, however, that you refrain from disrespecting divergent means of ascertaining what reality is when you don't understand this sense. At least put some effort into understanding it. It's like prejudice: certain white people don't like minorities because they've never been around them. Same applies to you and your M.O. for how others attain information.
Just so you know, for a time I tracked the predictions of these readers and a very high percentage of them did manifest. It is very time consuming work, however, and since it doesn't pay my mortage, I couldn't continue doing it. I did it long enough to know, however, that watching their predictions is not a waste of time.
So a person has to have an "advanced level of consciousness", otherwise, it looks like nonsense "like a three year old".
Maybe I should be been born with better "mental faculties", that way I could better understand "what reality is".
Of course, none of your replies above are condescending or disrespectful at all, correct?
I do agree with one thing you said, but I doubt those real trees can cloud your view of your ephemeral forest;
"...however, and since it doesn't pay my mortgage, I couldn't continue doing it..."

That information can be very accurate.
I've seen the tarot card readers.
Dan Greany writer for The Simpsons is on TikTok saying Krasnov will be removed from office by the end of this year.
He says when Krasnov is removed no one will fight it. It will be accepted by all. He also said that although he doesn't know who will become president, he said jd and no one else in positions in this regime, will ascend to the presidency as they will have went up with Krasnov and they'll go down.
Here's a link to Tarot by the Bay. Also the reader said another medium is speculating that this may involve a recertification of the elections
Anyway
At 5:46 he plays the Dan Greany videos.

I personally don’t think his early departure is a good thing at all. Vance is a huge potential disaster because he is not presidential material.

NJCher
(40,839 posts)This person who wrote it was a psychologist. Long story short, his brother committed suicide and the brother, the author of the book, did an exploration into what happens to people who commit suicide. There are some, like trump, who are so effed up that they cannot be brought up to standards, meaning the standards we have for human decency. This is post mortem, i.e., after the person has crossed over.
If I can find the spot in the book that describes it, I might copy and paste it here. That will take me a while, but it is quite interesting.
Suicide comes from self-hatred and from believing that one is not worthy of the rewards in life that the rest of us regularly reap. That's one explanation, anyway.
And yes, there are some that are in such bad condition they do something with them, but I can't recall what that was. Sort of like scrapped, but not entirely.

(25,079 posts)That "and" in the first sentence is critical. It must be the VP and a majority of the cabinet.
Here’s how it works:
Initiation: The Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet must submit a written declaration to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House stating that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office.
Effect: Upon this submission, the Vice President immediately assumes the powers and duties of the Acting President.
Challenge: If the President disputes the claim and declares he is able to resume his duties, he sends his own written declaration to Congress.
Resolution: If the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet dispute the President’s declaration within 4 days, Congress must decide. A two-thirds vote in both houses is required within 21 days to keep the Vice President as Acting President.
FakeNoose
(38,026 posts)The VP must call the Cabinet together to discuss and vote on the 25A invocation. They can't meet without the VP calling it. But once the meeting is called, they need at least a 51% majority to proceed to the next step... which is notifying Congress.

(30,614 posts)not to mention a seriously damaged and malevolent, malignant narcissist. He is a nihilist.
he is on the edge of being so bad off his keepers and users and acolytes and sycophants are going to have to do something about it. seems like it never will happen, but when it does, it will seem like it happened in an instant. the only certainty is that it will happen. no one lives forever and krasnov is way closer to the end than to the beginning.
i just hope I live long enough to see it.

(1,452 posts)A lot of GOP insiders have probably been itching to ditch Trump since before he was sworn in. They want a more sensible and common-sense single-party dictatorship without all the chaos and mess and financial ruin. But they're still scared of the rabid base, and the base follows him and no one else. They're desperately trying to balance the equation of whether their gains from tossing him into the Mt. Epstein volcano can balance their losses from having no one who they can depend on to rally the maga morons to support the new administration.
Trump has pushed other republicans into this same kind of dilemma many times before, and every time they've ended up concluding that they're stuck riding the Trump train all the way to the end of the line. But now, with his health failing. the track may finally be running out. And though they're very tempted, I doubt they'll change their ways... they probably won't make a move until he's actually in the hospital with a fair chance of never coming out.

(8,157 posts)That’s it. I Would bet you that he has a wheelchair in his private quarters and some portable o2 nearby,
His bruises are probably from the IV Lasix they are giving him. Probably wearing a catheter too. Keep him up and walking around without any gaffs on live TV. That’s it.
I’m thinking it’s why they are slinging all the Project 2025 wishlists out in succession so quickly.
They have the cover of the Epstein shit and the SCOTUS is still in their pocket. So they are doing it now asap. Added benefit is that they can all blame Trump when the Dems take back both Houses.
(Yes, eternal optimist here)

(116 posts)because Cheney was so much worse.
But I can’t fathom Vance being worse than Trump. The wost case scenario is he'll just do what the so-called "tech right" donors want. That’s bad, but at least he won't throw a grenade into the global economy with senseless tariffs or threaten to invade allies.
